Danny Cahill lost 239 pounds and became the biggest "The Biggest Loser" ever, having lost more weight than anyone in any previous season. But the surveyor from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, says when he stepped on the scale he wasn't sure he had aced it, because Rudy Pauls was looking pretty good. "They kept [the final four] sequestered so we didn't see anyone," Danny explains. "When I walked out and saw Rudy, I was amazed and worried.

Biggest Loser Finale Winner Danny
The Biggest Loser Season 8 finale aired last night and host Allison Sweeney brought back all of the contestants from this season to show how far they had come.
To be honest with you, I don't really watch this show, but I think it's a great way to motivate people to lose weight. And what amazing transformations some of these people went through!
The Biggest Loser finale featured the final three contestants: Amanda Arlauskas, Rudy Pauls and Danny Calhill. But the Biggest Loser winner was Danny Calhill, who lost a whopping 239 pounds!
Then, in the spirit of Rob and Amber on Survivor, contestant Antione proposed to fellow contestant Alexandra. Of course, she said yes. But, seriously, if you're not 100% sure that the girl is going to say yes, I wouldn't recommend that any man propose on live national television. That would be the ultimate in humiliation.
